How was your 4th? Did you eat great food? Did you celebrate our independence over ribs and tea? Ours was great. We celebrated with our dear friends and ended up having a huge firework blast off in the street with other neighbors. So much fun! (pictures to come soon)

My awesome and crazy guy who makes me laugh!

The fireworks were fun and all but Sweet Pea was almost uncontrollably excited. I don't think you've ever heard a kid scream so much over and over and want to run out in the street to help her Daddy set them off. So no..I didn't sit down to enjoy them because I was so scared she'd run out or away if I glanced the other direction. Wheww...no rest for Mama! 

Which somehow leads me to talk about those kid leashes. You know the ones with the little animals as a backpack?  I use to think, can those parents not get control of their kids? how pathetic!  But now I've changed my mind. Sorry to all those parents that use those or use to, I truly didn't understand but I do now because I have a little one that's always on the run.

This little Sweet Pea has no fear. None. And she'll run like crazy!! I mean run, jump, climb and fall over anything without thinking twice. 

So, I don't have one of the leashes/ropes yet but I'm starting to think it might be a good idea. If you don't have a child like with this type of personality then I'm sure you'll laugh and roll your eyes but don't judge. I'm trying to gain some sanity and peace (haha).

Hmm..if I decide to go that route I'll let you know which one I end up choosing. Too bad they don't have a Tinkerbell one. :)

 Just a little clip of Sweet Pea later in the night once she started getting tired with her light up shoes.
